Approximation Techniques for Engineers PDF

Features

Designed to be self-contained and written for engineers.

Provides computational examples and implementable algorithms.

Historical and modern references are provided at the end of each chapter.

Features eleven new sections and two new chapters.

Applicable for the electrical, aerospace, and mechanical engineering fields.

Summary

This second edition includes eleven new sections based on the approximation of matrix functions, deflating the solution space and improving the accuracy of approximate solutions, iterative solution of initial value problems of systems of ordinary differential equations, and the method of trial functions for boundary value problems. The topics of the two new chapters are integral equations and mathematical optimization. The book provides alternative solutions to software tools amenable to hand computations to validate the results obtained by ""black box"" solvers. It also offers an insight into the mathematics behind many CAD, CAE tools of the industry. The book aims to provide a working knowledge of the various approximation techniques for engineering practice.
